Application filed December Our invention relates to bank slip dispensingdevices and has for its primary objects the provision of a dispensingdevice of this.

character embodying such novel features of constructionwhereby platescontaining 'advertising matter may be removably mounted thereon; theprovision of a novel frictional means for holding the slips in aposition so that they may be readily withdrawn by a bank customer butwhich prevents such freedom of movement of the slips as to create awaste of same by the unpreineditated Withdrawal of more than'one slip ata time; and further the invention aims to'provide a device of thischaracter which is of. very simple, economical and elii'cientconstruction.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be developed in thecourse of the following description. The various fea{ in the claimsannexed to and forming a part of this specification. For a, better"under-"' standing of the invention, however, reference should be had tothe accompanying drawing which illustrates the now preferred'einbodiment of the invention. It is to be understood, however, that wedo'not propose to limit ourselves to the precise structure shown anddescribed but reserve the right to make such changes and modificationstherein as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the invention asclaimed. I

In the drawings,

V Figure 1 is a perspective view of a d vice constructed in accordancewith our invention and having duplicate dispensing sides; Figure 2 is afragmentary cross section through one unit ofthe device shown in Figure1.; Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 33 of Figure2; and Figure is a sectional detail in perspective. I

Referring specifically to the drawings, wherein like referencecharacters denote similar parts in all views, numeral 1 indicates thecasing orhousing having end walls 3, a bottom wall 2 and atop wall 1-.The two sides of the casing are open and receive the glass faced plate 5which is divided into spaces for advertising matter. The glass plates 5may be in one piece or in sectionsas may be deemed most expedient. Theend walls 3 have their edges slope inwardly toward thetop of the box soas to better dis-v play the advertising matter upon the plates 5 2, 125. Serial no? 72,734.

flush with the the plane ofthe edges. of the end'walls 3 is a flange 6which is clearly indicated in Figures '2 and 3. This flange 6 forms abaclring'for the. advertising plate 5;

' Aglass shelf 7 is disposed at each side. of

the casing 1 such-shelves-being s'upporte'dby plates 8.- The plates 8are reinovably secured to upwardfianges 2 of thebottom 2 and have endclips 9 forguarding and-spac'edly supporting the shelves? from theplates.

Also, each of-the backing flangesG has an outward bottomledge 6 to forma support for the glass faced" advertising plates 5,

which are encased in frames 5, While'the inner ends of the lateral.clips 9f form an abutment or guardtherefor. A eover 10 having anoverhanging marginal flange 10 acts to snugly retain the glassfaced'advertising plates 5 against the upper portion of the flange 6.l/Vhen it is desired tofmove the advertising plate 5 it is onlynecessary to remove the cover 10 andrdraw' the advertising platesoutwardly so that they may be lifted fromthe pocket formed by the'glass' shelf 7 7 its end clips '9 andthe flange 6i Two series'ofstandards ll are supported by the bottom'of the casing in spacedparallel relation the rolls of bankslips to be dispensed are mounted onthese standards. description of one set of standards and the relation ofthe rolls thereto will suffice as they are exact. duplicates. Thestandards 11 may if desired be mounted upon a base plate l1 shown in thedrawings, the ad- \"antage of this being that the staiulards can bereadily removed. The opposed surfaces of each standard are slotted asindicated at 12 to receive the projecting ends of the pintles 13 of thespools 13 on which is wound i the tape or ribbon of paper 14 which ismade up of a series of connected slips.

Having thlSdGSCllbGCl our invention, what we claim as new and desire to.secure by Letters Patent is 1. A dispensing device of the class de:

scribedcomprising a casing having an open- I pocket.

ing in one side through which the material to be dispensed may beinserted, a closure plate for said opening, supporting means for saidplate, a slotted guide projecting from said casing through which thematerial is designed to be withdrawn, the inner transverse edge of saidguide cooperating with said plate-supporting means to define a pocketfor one edge'of said closure plate and movable means engageable withsaid closure plate for removahly holding 1t 111 said pocket.

2. A dispensing device of the class 'de-- scribed; comprising a casinghaving an opening in one side through which the material to be dispensedmay be inserted, a closure plate for said opening, supporting means forsaid plateya rest projecting from one through which the material may bewithdrawn and over saidrest a shelf spacedly supported upon saidrest,meansfor clamping said shelf to said rest, said shelf with saidplate supporting means defining a side of said casing,the latter havinga slot pocket for one edge of said closure plate and a i movable meanscooperable'with said closure plate for removably holding t in sa d Thestructure said movable means COIDPIISIHg a cover for said casing havinga depending flange, said flange bearing against said closure plateforretaining the same in saidpoelcet and against said supporting means.
